1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
>>> MR. PRESIDENT, HOW MUCH

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000
LONGER CAN THIS SHUTDOWN LAST?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000
>> WE NEED BORDER SECURITY.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
WE WILL HAVE BORDER SECURITY.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
TREMENDOUS REPUBLICAN SUPPORT.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO WIN.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
LISTEN, WE NEED BORDER SECURITY.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
VERY SIMPLE.

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
>> HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THE

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
SHUTDOWN WILL LAST?

11
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
>> WHATEVER IT TAKES.

12
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
>> LEADER SCHUMER AND SPEAKER

13
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,000
PELOSI ARE SAYING THIS IS A

14
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
MANUFACTURED CRISIS.
THEY ARE BASICALLY ACCUSING YOU

15
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
OF LYING ABOUT THE BOARDER.

16
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
>> WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS TAKE A

17
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
LOOK AT LAST NIGHT AND SEE THE

18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000
RESULTS THIS MORNING.

19
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,000
THE PEOPLE KNOW WE NEED BORDER

20
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
SECURITY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
>> HEADS UP.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
>> MR. PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT,

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
MR. PRESIDENT, ARE YOU WORRIED

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
ABOUT REPUBLICAN DEFECTION?

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
>> I WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE A

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
VERY, VERY UNIFIED PARTY.

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
MITCH HAS BEEN FANTASTIC.

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WAS

29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,000
FANTASTIC.
THERE WAS NO REASON FOR ME EVEN

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000
TO BE THERE.

31
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I KNEW THAT BEFORE WE LEFT.

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,000
BUT THE REPUBLICANS WANT BORDER

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
SECURITY.
THEY WANT NATIONAL SECURITY.

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
THEY WANT TO HAVE A STEEL

35
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,000
BARRIER OR A WALL OF CONCRETE,

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
THEY DON'T CARE, I WILL USE ANY

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
TERM THEY WANT, WE NEED A

38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,000
BARRIER, TO STOP THE HUMAN

39
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
TRAFFICKERS, AND THE DRUG TRADE,

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
AND TO STOP ALL OF THE BIG

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
PROBLEMS THAT COME, INCLUDING

42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
GANGS, THEY DON'T COME THROUGH

43
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
YOUR CHECKPOINTS, THEY COME

44
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000
THROUGH AREAS WHERE YOU ARE

45
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
HUNDREDS OF MILES WITHOUT WALLS

46
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
AND WITHOUT BARRIERS, OR WITHOUT

47
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
STRONG FENCES, SO THE REPUBLICAN

48
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
PARTY, I CAN SAY, AND I JUST

49
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
LEFT AN HOUR MEETING, WE HAD A

50
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
GREAT TIME, ACTUALLY, THERE WAS

51
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
NO DISCUSSION ABOUT ANYTHING

52
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,000
OTHER THAN SOLIDARITY.

53
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
WE WANT NATIONAL SECURITY.

54
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
AND BORDER SECURITY.

55
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
FOR OUR COUNTRY.

56
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
>> MR. PRESIDENT, MR.

57
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,000
PRESIDENT --

58
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
>> LET ME JUST ADD, MR.

59
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
PRESIDENT, FIRST OF ALL, THANKS

60
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
FOR COMING OUTS AND I THINK THE

61
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000
PRESIDENT ACCURATELY

62
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
CHARACTERIZED THE PRESIDENT, WE

63
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
ARE ALL BEHIND THE PRESIDENT, WE

64
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
THINK BORDER SECURITY IS

65
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE

66
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
COUNTRY.

67
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

68
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
>> MR. PRESIDENT, MR. PRESIDENT,

69
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
WHY NOT DECLARE A NATIONAL

70
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
EMERGENCY?

71
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
>> I PLAY DO THAT AT SOME POINT.

72
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
IF CHUCK AND NANCY, WHO ARE

73
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,000
MEETING I BELIEVE IN A LITTLE

74
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
WHILE, IF THEY DON'T AGREE TO

75
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
THE FACT THAT OUR COUNTRY IS

76
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
REALLY GOT PROBLEMS WITH CRIME,

77
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
WITH DRUGS, WITH A LOT OF OTHER

78
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
THINGS THAT COME THROUGH OUR

79
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
SOUTHERN BORDER, SO MUCH OF IT

80
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
COMES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN

81
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,000
BORDER, YOU LOOK AT HEROIN, 90%

82
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN BORDER, SO

83
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
MUCH, SO MANY PROBLEMS, AND IF

84
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
THEY CAN'T GET THAT THROUGH, OR

85
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000
IF THEY FEEL THAT POLITICALLY, I

86
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,000
DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS GOOD

87
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000
POLITICALLY, I DON'T CARE

88
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
POLITICALLY, I'M DOING WHAT IS

89
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
RIGHT FOR THE COUNTRY, BUT I'M

90
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
TELLING YOU IT IS A VERY BAD

91
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
POLITICAL ISSUE FOR THE

92
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
DEMOCRATS, THAT, I CAN TELL YOU.

93
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
>> MR. PRESIDENT, DID ANY

94
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
REPUBLICANS TODAY IN THAT

95
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
MEETING TELL YOU THAT THEY WANT

96
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,000
YOU TO PURSUE A DIFFERENT

97
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
STRATEGY, THAT THEY WANT YOU TO

98
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT?

99
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
>> WE TALKED ABOUT STRATEGY, A

100
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000
COUPLE, A COUPLE TALKED ABOUT

101
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
STRATEGY, A COUPLE, TALKED ABOUT

102
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
STRATEGY, BUT THEY'RE WITH US

103
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,000
ALL THE WAY.

104
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
THEY'RE WITH US.

105
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
>> MR. PRESIDENT, MR.

106
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
PRESIDENT --
>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO, WITH

107
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
THE FAKE NEWS, I JUST WANT TO

108
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
TELL YOU, THE REPUBLICANS ARE

109
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
TOTALLY UNIFIED.

110
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
NOW, IF YOU WERE TO ASK THE SAME

111
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,000
QUESTION TO THE DEMOCRATS, YOU

112
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
LET ME KNOW IN SOME OF THOSE

113
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
DISTRICTS WHERE I WON, OR THAT

114
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
ARE A LITTLE BIT MORE TOWARDS

115
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
SANITY, YOU WANT THEM TO RUN,

116
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
SAY WE DON'T NEED BORDER

117
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,000
SECURITY, YOU HAVE A LOT OF

118
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,000
DEMOCRATS WHO DON'T WANT TO BE

119
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
IN THIS BATTLE, YOU HAVE A LOT

120
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
OF DEMOCRAT, THE REPUBLICANS ARE

121
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
UNIFIED, WE WANT BORDER

122
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
SECURITY, WE WANT SAFETY FOR OUR

123
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
COUNTRY, AND YOU KNOW, FOR 25

124
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
YEARS, THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO

125
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
THIS.

126
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
THIS HAS BEEN PASSED.

127
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
CHUCK SCHUMER HAS RAISED HIS

128
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
HAND SO MANY DIFFERENT TIMES,

129
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
CHI GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES, I

130
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
COULD GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES THAT

131
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
HE MADE, THOUGH I DON'T THINK

132
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
YOU WOULD ENJOY THEM THAT MUCH,

133
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
I COULD GIVE YOU 15 SPEECHES

134
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
THAT HE TALKED ABOUT BORDER

135
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
SECURITY, NO DIFFERENT THAN ME,

136
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
BORDER SECURITY.

137
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
ELSE TH

138
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
THAT'S ALL HE TALKED ABOUT IS

139
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
BORDER SECURITY, THE ONLY REASON

140
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
THEY'RE AGAINST IT IS BECAUSE I

141
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
WON THE PRESIDENCY AND THEY

142
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
THINK THEY CAN TRY AND HURT US

143
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
GOING INTO THE PRESIDENCY, BUT

144
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

145
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
AND WE DON'T GIVE UP.
BECAUSE WE ARE DOING, WE ARE

146
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR

147
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,000
COUNTRY.

148
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
OKAY?
>> MR. PRESIDENT, IF ILLEGAL

149
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
IMMIGRATION AT THE BORDER HAS

150
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
GONE DOWN WHY, IS IT --

151
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
>> YOU KNOW WHY IT'S GONE DOWN?

152
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
BECAUSE OF GOOD MANAGEMENT.

153
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,000
BECAUSE OF ME.

154
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
AND MY PEOPLE.

155
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,000
BECAUSE WE HAVE MANAGED IT WELL.

156
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
>> BUT THEN WHY IS IT A CRISIS?

157
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
>> IT IS BRUTAL.

158
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE COMING UP,

159
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
YOU HAVE CARAVANS, NOBODY EVER

160
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
HEARD OF A CARAVAN, IT'S GONE

161
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
DOWN AND WE HAVE KEPT IT DOWN

162
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
BECAUSE WE'RE MANAGING IT WELL,

163
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
BUT WE CAN NEVER DO A GREAT JOB,

164
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
UNLESS WE HAVE A WALL, OR A

165
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
BARRIER, AND I MEAN A REAL

166
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
BARRIER, NOT IS A LITTLE BARRIER

167
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
THAT DOESN'T WORK.
AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT, BUT

168
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000
IT IS ONLY DOWN BECAUSE WE DO A

169
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
GREAT JOB AND WE WORK VERY HARD

170
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
AT IT AND I HAVE INCREDIBLE

171
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
PEOPLE, BORDER PATROL PEOPLE,

172
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I.C.E., THE MILITARY HAS HELPED,

173
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
I CALMED OUT THE MILITARY, WE

174
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000
NEEDED HELP, AND THAT'S WHY IT

175
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
HAS GONE DOWN.

176
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,000
THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

177
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
>>> TODAY IS THE 19th DAY OF THE

178
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,000
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

179
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
BOTH THE HOUSE AND SENATE ARE IN

180
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
SESSION.
THE THOUSAND IS BEGINNING

181
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
CONSIDERATION OF FOUR BILLS THAT

182
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
WOULD SEEK TO OPEN THE PARTS OF

183
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
THE GOVERNMENT THAT REMAIN SHUT

184
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
DOWN.
THE SENATE IS NOT EXPECTED TO

185
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
TAKE UP ANY OF THE FOUR

186
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
MEASURES.
